South Bend, IN (PRWEB) September 12, 2014

On Thursday, September 11, 2014, Holy Cross Village resident Cecilia ODonnell appeared on Mystics of the HeartLand in the episode entitled Spirituality and Healthy Living.

The series, which airs on WNIT Public Television, explores the intersection of spirituality with science, nature, the arts, and more.

ODonnell is a resident of Shubert Villa, the senior assisted living neighborhood within Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame. The continuing care retirement community features services and amenities designed to keep the mind, body and spirit young.

One of our goals at Holy Cross Village is to create an environment that allows seniors to live an enriching, empowering and holistic lifestyle, said Susan Griffin, marketing director. We are well known for our strong sense of community and spirituality.

It is no wonder, then, that ODonnell was interviewed for the TV program, which focuses on ordinary people and everyday spirituality.

Mystics of the HeartLand is a locally produced program that focuses on spirituality and various topic that many seniors find interesting, explained Andrew Brent, producer at Gentle Fox Productions, the shows producer. Several Holy Cross Village residents have contributed to the making of this series. We hope to expand Mystics in order to serve a national audience.

Two other Holy Cross Village residents have been integral members of the Mystics of the HeartLand production team. Montel Menting, an independent living villa resident, has been contributing behind the scenes, researching materials. And Carolyn Scheibelhut, who resides in the senior independent living Andre Place, has been involved in writing scripts for the show.

All of our residents are encouraged to become active in the communityas much as they feel comfortable, Griffin continued. Not only do we sponsor countless on-site activities, a variety of opportunities exist outside our property, too.

For example, Holy Cross Village seniors have access to wellness programs, a state-of-the-art fitness center, computer center, and creative arts center as well as a comprehensive library and lifelong learning opportunities offered through neighboring educational campuses. Thanks to the continuing care retirement communitys affiliation with Holy Cross College, residents can even enroll in special continuing education classes.
